Opposites Attract

Humans are drawn to the overlapping landscape between the land and the sea. In this unique space, the Eden Estuary, on the east coast of Scotland, there lies an unfamiliar beauty in the loose granular substance we call sand. It is within these sands that lies the inevitability of change. The estuary waters and winds have crafted almost magical patterns that, twice a day, are exposed for a few hours from this otherwise concealed world. We find an area of opposites; the covered and uncovered; the hidden and revealed; the wet and dry; and the visible and invisible. When closely examined, these strange patterns form simple geometric patterns to complex organic pattern formations. The patterns are repeated, altered, and formed in different areas of the estuary, and each has its unique pattern.
